Luxury Travel In Tibet

Traveling in Tibet is an incredible experience. This tiny Himalayan kingdom offers travelers pristine wilderness, stunning treks amongst jagged peaks, awe-inspiring monastery visits, and insight into one of the most mesmerizing cultures on earth. Here you will find a culture that is interwoven with Tibetan Buddhism in a way that makes luxury travel in Tibet a one-of-a-kind experience.

Absolute Travel’s tours of Tibet showcase the pure beauty of the region and the local people that call the region home.

Luxury Travel In Tibet

For many travelers, Tibet is the ultimate destination. For years, due to political and geographic reasons, this high altitude desert was inaccessible; now, the Himalayan Kingdom is open to visitors wishing to tour Tibet’s corners. Stretching from the forested hills just west of Chengdu to the holy Mount Kailash, Tibet’s landscape is broad and varied. Gyantse’s Kumbum is a world treasure, adorned with fabulous 15th century Newari murals. Shigatse is the seat of the Panchen Lama; it draws pilgrims from throughout the country and has often been the site of political intrigue. Tsedong, just outside Lhasa, makes an ideal introduction to the country and its monastic traditions. On your private luxury travel in Tibet explore the fortress massif of Samye monastery and the Valley of Kings before heading to Lhasa’s bustling markets, sacred temples and ornate palaces. The massive monastic cities of Sera and Drepung, outside of Lhasa, are open to exploration and are currently being rebuilt after the destruction of the Cultural Revolution and years of neglect. And while the Panchen Lama may lack the Dalai Lama’s worldwide recognition, this second-in-command is actually an integral part of Tibetan culture and many Tibet tours will stop in Shigatse, where the Panchen Lamas once resided.

Tibet Tours

Travelers who fear that they are supporting the Chinese regime by taking a luxury Tibet vacation can rest assured that that Dalai Lama himself strongly encourages foreigners to visit this magical place, not only to see the situation firsthand but also to feel the warm and welcoming presence of the Tibetan people.

Absolute Travel’s private Tibet luxury travel tours are backed by the knowledge and security of staffers. Our access, firsthand knowledge of the region, and personalization of every Tibet vacation we design will ensure your journey is a truly unforgettable experience.

My perfect day in Kerala, India: spicy masala dosa for breakfast, floating along the backwaters sipping a coconut, and a 4-handed Ayurvedic massage before sunset.
